4.2.5. IEEE 802.16e-2005
In 2003, the 802.16 standard group started another mission. The TGe began to combine
mobility and BWA together. The result was IEEE 802.16e and it was formally published in
February 2006. This standard introduces scalable OFDMA in PHY-layer and modifies the MAClayer
for supporting high speed mobility. The goal is to support end users moving in cars and
giving them the ability to access the BWA without any problems. It has backward compatibility
with IEEE 802.16-2004. Because of its mobility, it is also referred to as mobile-WiMax. [49][50]

4.2.6. IEEE 802.16f, IEEE 802.16g and IEEE 802.16h
These standards are still under discussion. So far only drafts are available. [50][60] Table 4-
1[50] is the basic information of IEEE 802.16 family.
